This is a central location where System Members are able to
keep up to date with the company’s latest news and important events. Use the IntraEditor™ to create your Company
Headlines page, which allows you to upload images, create web and document
links, format text and add tables, as well as so much more. The Company Headlines page is an HTML page that is viewable
by all System Members and accessible by clicking on the Company Headlines
title located at the very top of the Content Browser. Posting company headlines information should be done by the
System Administrator or by another User who has been appointed this task. If you have been given the appropriate
access rights to add content to this page, the Edit button will be visible
in the right corner of the HTML document window. If you do not have a Preferred Home Page selected,
the Company Headlines page becomes your default home page, which will
appear as soon as you login to the Intranet.
You are able to set your Set
Preferred Home Page within the My Settings area. An Administrator may set a User’s home page within the Selecting
a User's Home Page in the User Administration
application.
Company Headlines Section
The Company Headlines section is located at the top
of your Content Browser and is the highest directory level that Sections and
Applications can be saved to. The
Company Headlines section can be considered the Root section of your
Intranet, where Sections and Applications exist and can be built upon, allowing
you to add more Sections and Applications to them.
Within your Content Browser, below the Company Headlines section, you will notice that your Intranet has been automatically provided with a Company Documents application, Company Calendar application, Company Contacts application, Company Bulletin Board application, Company Links application, and Company Images application that either can be utilized immediately upon logging in, or you may implement your own structure that better suits your Company's needs.
To save Sections and Applications to the Company
Headlines section, select the Company Headlines title within the Choose
Folder dialog, however it may be selected for you as the default.
Once Applications and Sections are saved to the Company
Headlines section or Root directory of your Intranet, you may
build from there, adding more Sections and Applications to either the Company
Headlines section (Root) or to another Section. The end result is a hierarchy of Sections
and Applications similar to a directory file structure.
One significant difference between Sections and Applications
is, a Section can be saved to the Company Headlines section or
below another Section, where it can be built upon, allowing you to add more
Sections and Applications to it.
Whereas, an Application cannot be added to another
Application, it can be added to the Company Headlines section, where it
will exist on its own, or below another Section.
The Company Headlines section is the main section
or storage area for all Sections and Applications that are created within the
Content Browser. This storage area is
called Section Contents, and can be accessed by clicking on the Section
Contents button. Within this area you are able to delete, rename, cut, copy, paste and
create information within the Company Headline section. But this depends on the access rights you
have been assigned at the Company Headline page.
If a Section or Application is added to: the Company Headlines section, System Tools section or simply a regular section; the new sub- Section or Application will inherit the Access Rights that already exists within the parent section. So if the child section or application is to have different rights than its parent section, this must be manually changed by denying the User or Group rights.
If access rights have been assigned at the Company Headline
page and then Apply
Access Rights to Section Contents is selected, it will apply the
User(s) or Group(s) those same access rights to all Sections and Applications
that exist within the Content Browser. Therefore, it will apply those
same rights downward. The function of assigning
access rights downward also applies within a regular Section, but the access
rights will only be assigned to the contents of that particular section, not
all Sections and Applications within the Company Headlines section.
A Lock
If the Admin
access right is assigned to the contents of the Company Headline
section, which is done by clicking Apply Access Rights to Section Contents,
then you have been given the administrator privilege within all its
Sections and Applications and will see a lock
Assigning User and Group Access Rights to the Company Headlines Section Once
all the Users and Groups have been created and added to the Intranet, and the
structure of your Intranet has been implemented through Sections and
Applications, the next step is to assign Access Rights to the Company
Headline section. This is very
important as it allows the System Administrator to assign Users and Groups
Access Rights within all Sections and Applications that exist within your
Content Browser. Assigning
User access rights (Read, Post, Modify or Admin) to
your Company Headlines section or Root is very important, as it
allows certain System Members the ability to add Sections and Applications,
among other tasks, within the Content Browser. The
selection process of who is assigned Post, Modify, or Admin access
rights at the Root is very important and should be assigned to System
Members who can be trusted with this responsibility; otherwise, the
organization of the Content Browser could be jeopardized.
Note:
You must assign a User or
Group at least the Read access right within the Company Headline
section, before you can assign access rights to any of its Sub - Sections or
Applications.
Note: If you are not a System Administrator, you must have
at least the Admin access right within this section to perform this
function. Contact your System
Administrator or someone who has Administrator privileges in this area.
Note: If you assign a User or Group the Read and Post ability at the Company Headlines section (root), they automatically have Administrator privileges over the Sections and Applications they create. A Lock will be visible to the right of the Section or Application they create within the Content Browser.
Note: Assigning a User individual Access Rights will override any Group rights that the User may already have within a Section or Application.
Note: If a Section or Application is added to the: Company Headlines section, System Tools section or simply a regular Section; the new sub- Section or Application will inherit the Access Rights that already exists within its parent section. So if the child section or application is to have different rights than its parent section, this must be manually changed by denying the User or Group rights.
The following explains what each Access Right would allow Users or Groups at the Company Headlines section or Root directory once assigned: ü
Read – assigning a User the Read
access right at the Company Headline page allows the User to read the
Company Headline page. ü
Post – assigning a User the Read
and Post access rights at the Company Headline page, allows the
User to also create Sections and Applications within the Section Contents
of the Company Headline section, as well as the ability to edit the Company
Headline page. ü
Modify – assigning a User Read, Post
and Modify access rights at the Company Headline page, allows the
User to perform the above functions as well as the ability to delete, rename,
cut, copy and paste information within the Company Headline - Section
Contents area. ü
Admin – assigning a User the Admin
access right at the Company Headline page, allows the User to perform
the above functions, as well as the ability to assign User Access Rights to the
Company Headline page. The User is given access to Section
Contents, Access Rights and Properties. This ability is very important and probably
should be assigned to System Members who can be trusted with this
responsibility; otherwise, the organization of the Company Headline section
could be jeopardized. Follow
the instructions below to assign User or Group Access Rights to the Company
Headline section. Note: If you do not see the Company Headline lock Note:

Assigning a User individual
Access Rights, will always override any Group rights that the User may
already have within a Section or Application.
Note: Deleting a User or Group from the Company Headlines Access Rights area, only denies the User or Group access rights to this section and it's contents, it does not delete the User or Group from the Intranet. This applies to all Sections and Applications when assigning or denying Access Rights.
Note:
You may view Users and Groups that have been added to
the Company Headline section
in different ways. For example,
click Show All, which will list both individual Users and Groups that
have been assigned access, or you may click Show Users which will list

assign Users and Groups the same access rights within all the Sections and
Applications that exist within the Company Headline section, check the
checkboxes next to the Users or Groups that are to have the same access rights
within all Sections and Applications that exist within the Company Headlines
section, and then click Apply
